Once Again Auckland Fails To Uphold Family Values

The Christian Heritage Party commends
Auckland City Councillors, David Hay and Frank Ryan, for
their stand against ratepayer funding of a “Hero” Parade in
2001.

While City Attractions Chairwoman, Victoria Carter,
pleads shortage of money, she and her committee are
nonetheless prepared to give $30,000 towards the cost of
flaunting homosexuality in public in Auckland.

Fostering a
moral culture for families and children is essential if we
as a nation are to stem the tide of personal and societal
problems. By no stretch of the imagination can the “biggest
and best extravaganza” planned for Ponsonby Road on 17
February next year, be seen as promoting anything other than
decadence and pornography.

The Christian Heritage Party
calls on other members of the Auckland City Council to
re-evaluate their moral responsibilities to families’
well-being and reminds them that the homosexual rate paying
community, although very vociferous, is very
small.
